Hillary Clinton Haters Will Love These Two Stocks to Buy

Hillary Clinton

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton holds sway over U.S. markets. Over the past three weeks, two comments from her wiped millions off the value of an industry...

A 21-word tweet from Clinton sent the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (NYSE Arca: XBI) - a collection of some of the largest biotech stocks on the market - down 5% on Sept. 21. The former first lady struck again Oct. 30. She tweeted an attack on prisons. Prison stocks promptly took a dive. Corrections Corp. of America (NYSE: CXW) fell as much as 6% when the tweet surfaced - a $200 million loss of value.

But there's one sector that is proving impervious to Hillary Clinton rants. In fact, the last time a politician took aim at this industry, it doubled during the worst financial crisis in recent memory.

Investors who hate Hillary Clinton will love these two picks...

Here's why the Bernie Sanders tax plan won't work...

2016 Election Candidate Hillary Clinton

Does honesty matter in American politics?

When you consider all the Hillary Clinton lies over the course of her public life, her current status as the de facto Democratic presidential nominee for 2016 suggests the answer is no.

But given Clinton's many lies throughout the current email server scandal, can American voters really trust her with the presidency?
